I've heard that there are loads of misspelled auctions on Ebay. What's the best way to find them ? And does it cost anything ?

I would've thought the best way to find a misspelled auction on EBay would be to go via the categories they're listed in. Of course that's not taking into consideration that it could've been incorrectly listed, but it's still the best suggestion I can think of.

Rather than typing in the misspelled words yourself, use a misspelling search engine. The two that I've used are http://www.missing-auctions.com and http://www.invisible-auctions.com.
Both work best if you search just for brand names eg playstation

Type in the miss-spelled word. If i'm looking for somthing rare, like an old album, i'll type in typical mistakes e.g Gatecrasher= Gatecarsher!
People do it - ive picked up some of the rarest dance album you can get for under £5!

By mispelling them yourself!
Also go for 'lazy-type' errors, for example "Rocky" being "Roky" and so forth.
